Match Report
Our opening midweek game of the season was won with ten balls to spare, following a swashbuckling 26* from Gordy and a solid 24 from Dave. Earlier in the evening Simon had picked up two wickets, two catches and a run out, as well as several outrageous mis-fields and Mr Softy demonstrated that the art of spin-bowling is one that he will never master, despite plenty of talk to the contrary. His two over spell (19 balls we think) was probably the worst the club has seen, since the legendary Limahl 'turned around' for us in the early nineties.
